Denny's Christmas Scrooge

 

This is the last in this series of 4 Christmas Magic Mugs from Denny's Restaurant.  The mug also features the iconic Denny's logo on the right side of the mug.  

On the left side of the mug is a dark drawing of Ebeneezer Scrooge (from Dickens' A Christmas Carol) complete with grimace and his signature phrase "Bah, Humbug!" above him. 

When hot liquid is added, the entire dark area clears to show Ebeneezer happy, with a big smile and the phase "Happy Holidays" above him.  

The color change is great and is one of my favorite mugs in this series.

Denny's Christmas Ornament

This is the third in the Denny's Christmas Mug collection.  On the right side of the mug is the iconic Denny's logo. 

On the left side of the mug is a christmas ornament with a frowning, sad face.  The entire ornament is a dull dark brown color.

 

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the entire dark ornament becomes translucent and the smiling face of Santa Claus appears.  

The color change is about average, but it's a great addition to the collection.

Denny's Til Dawn

In the 1980's and 1990's Denny's had several magic mugs for retail purchase as well as premiums.  Taking a break from Christmas mugs, here is Denny's "Til Dawn' mug, which was used to promote their 24 hour restaurants.   The right side of the mug shows the iconic Denny's mug and the stylized 'Til Dawn' logo used in the 24/7 campaign. 

On the left side of the mug is a dark oval with a tired face and sleepy eyes.   (The oval on this mug is not as dark as it should be due to UV, Microwave damage, or general use.)

When  hot liquid is added the tired sleepy face clears to show a happy, smiling face with rosy cheeks, ready to face the dawn.  Around the outside of the face are the words "Denny's  Til Dawn"

The color change is quick and near complete, even though the color is more transparent at the beginning which would indicate damage to the Thermochromatic Ink.
